RPi Boot Process

[Joshua Perry]

Looks like u-boot is used in place of the `kernel` parameter in the `config.txt` file that configures the closed-source RPi bootloader. I haven’t found the u-boot script that core uses to boot yet (if that’s how it’s done).

Some useful info resources I’ve found so far:

Looks like there is already an Ubuntu bootloader for the RPi3 on the piso77 Github Repo. I suppose we just need to find the u-boot script that core use to do the A/B decision making? Or is that in the source of the RPi u-boot port? This is where I’m currently perusing.
